Staying Question

Give her a reason:
On a recent episode of "The Morning Meeting," a woman named Sharon appeared on the podcast with former Democrat strategist Dan Turrentine, political analyst Mark Halperin, and former Trump Press Secretary Sean Spicer. She described herself as a "lifelong Democrat." She also had this to say: “I have been super active in campaigns — I’ve worked on them, I’ve volunteered for them, I’ve contributed to them. I’m so appalled by the Democratic Party. I have no idea what they stand for. I have no idea what their policies are. The things that I see that they most talk about feel very, like, bad for the country, bad for the people — super fringy. So why would — how would you convince me to stay in that party and support it, given what is happening today?” Dan Turrentine attempted to tackle Sharon's challenge. He replied: “It’s a great, great question, Sharon, and I think you speak for a lot of people. And at times you speak for myself, right? Which is just the immense frustration with being rudderless and leaderless and just kind of — often what we talk about is just our dislike of [President Donald] Trump, right? It’s just — we scream and pull our hair out and say he’s a king, etc.” Sharon went on to say that the Democrat Party is "in fear of a highly vocal group — like the far, far left.” Halperin then asked who her ideal presidential candidate would be. She cited Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA). She also said that being from Pennsylvania, she followed Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), but thought that Khanna was a more appealing candidate. She continued, saying that for Fetterman to recently make the statement that he supports the military, and for that to be a controversial position in the Democrat Party, "It’s just — I don’t understand what they’re up to.”
Neither does anyone else...
